Background
Due to a widespread use of a CT there is recently increased incidence of smaller peripheral lung lesions. Because of an obvious need for a morphological verification new bronchoscopy methods for biopsy of such small peripheral lesions are needed. We have utilized two methods of spectroscopic detection in peripheral lung cancer. In vivo method- NIR spectroscopy of penetrating light and ex vivo method-Raman spectroscopy of biopsy specimens. Correlation of these two methods gives us the insight into molecular biology of in vivo spectroscopic measurement. In vivo NIR spectroscopy together with transbronchial biopsy under fluoroscopic guidance appears to be useful and reliable method for peripheral lung cancer diagnosis.Methods
We have designed a simple instrument for measurement of a penetrated NIR light through the lung tissue. It consists of two fibres of 1 mm in diameter contained in one bundle covered with insulation sleeving. One of the fibres is a detector; the other is a source fibre. The indicator fibre is 1,5 cm longer than the source fibre and it is separately covered with insulation till its ending. The ending is cut in the angle of 60 degrees and titan coated in order to facilitate NIR light transmission toward detector fibre. The detector fibre is connected to NIR spectroscope and the source fibre to NIR source. The instrument for ex vivo Raman spectroscopy measurement has been derived from above described system. The endings of fibres have been grinded down perpendicularly in order to allow systematic Raman measurement.Results
In vivo measurement: Measurements of a normal lung tissue at various areas of a lung tissue show characteristic peak at 735 nm which is not present during cancer tissue spectroscopy. In cancer tissue in addition all detected spectra have got fixed ratio (with minimal dispersion) of two standardized transmittance values at two chosen wavelengths (773 and 823 nm)- mirroring the source values with its mild modification by tissue auto fluorescence. By help of those findings we utilized endobronchial measurement of NIR transmittance spectra in attempt to improve sensitivity of trans bronchial biopsy under fluoroscopic guidance. Ex vivo measurement: Biopsy specimens has been immediately transferred to Raman spectroscope laboratory (within 10 minutes) on temperature 8-10°C. For tissue Raman studies we used excitation at 785 nm. Raman spectra in the 700-1,800 cm(-1) range from lung tissue biopsies were obtained within 10 sec. Raman Spectroscopy results from biopsy specimens taken from the in vivo spectroscopy pathological areas showed higher signals for nucleic acid, tryptophan and lower signals for phospholipids and proline, compared to normal tissue.Conclusion
In vivo NIR spectroscopy together with transbronchial biopsy under fluoroscopic guidance appears to be useful and reliable method for peripheral lung cancer diagnosis. Ex vivo Raman spectroscopy confirmed diagnostics value of in vivo measurements. Such device or its modifications could be easily included for example into the examination by electromagnetic navigation.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.
